I think her lawyer is probably thinking that, if the files are released, he has an argument he can use to legally maneuver around her appeal and get her a better outcome (from her point of view).

If her complaint results in the files not being released, then she presses Trump even harder for a presidential pardon.

The Presidential Pardon would invalidate the basis for the Epstein Files not being released. (Not that I think Trump would understand that.)

We live in a post-truth society. Facts don't matter anymore. Sadly.
